Hey Warhammer Age of Sigmar enthusiasts! Get ready to dive into the heart of the Cities of Sigmar and see how these everyday heroes stand tall against gods, monsters, and the forces of Chaos. These cities are fighting for survival, reclaiming lands, and founding new strongholds in a world gone mad.
The Defenders of the Realms
- Diverse Allies: Humans, aelves, duardin, and even ogors unite under the banner of the Cities of Sigmar. They lack the supernatural powers of their enemies but make up for it with sheer determination, faith, and rigorous training.
- The Coin Malleus and Cults Unberogen: Citizens join the fight either through military enlistment or are pulled in by the zealous Cults Unberogen, driven by their unyielding faith in Sigmar.
Battlefield Tactics and Formations
- Castelite Formation: Rows of Freeguild Fusiliers with sturdy shields form an impenetrable wall, flanked by Fusil-Majors on Ogor Warhulks acting as watchtowers, and an Ironweld Greatcannon serving as the gatehouse. This formation is all about defense, creating a fortress on the battlefield that enemy forces struggle to penetrate.
- Counter-Charge: Once the enemy breaks upon this fortified line, thundering cavalry charge out to deliver a devastating blow, followed by infantry, duardin, and agile aelves, all orchestrated by veteran commanders.
Strategic Orders and Unity
- Officar’s Orders: Your HEROES can issue crucial commands to units within 12″, such as “Advance in Formation” to secure objectives or “Suppressing Fire” to disrupt enemies. These orders are key to turning the tide of battle.
- A United Front: Humans, aelves, and duardin each bring their strengths to the table. Swift aelves strike quickly, stout duardin hold the line, and disciplined humans maintain control of key battlefield features.
Battle Traits and Resilience
- Fortified Position: The Castelite formation reduces the Rend of incoming attacks, making your troops tougher to crack. Their steadfast defense often causes enemy assaults to falter.
- Dawnbringer Crusades: These brave souls push into hostile territories, driven by relentless energy that grants them movement boosts early in the battle. Their resilience is their greatest weapon.
Iconic Leaders and Units
- Tahlia Vedra, Lioness of the Parch: Former mercenary turned leader, Vedra is a tactical genius who commands respect from her troops. She can inspire soldiers to return to the front lines and issue orders to multiple units at once.
- Fusil-Majors on Ogor Warhulks: These formidable units combine the sharpshooting of experienced gunners with the brute strength of city-dwelling ogors. They mark targets for allies and reinforce the Castelite formation.
- Freeguild Cavaliers: These knights deliver a powerful melee punch with their Devastating Charge, breaking enemy formations with their heavily barded horses and fierce weaponry.
- Freeguild Steelhelms: The backbone of any Dawnbringer force, these soldiers hold the line with unwavering faith. They consecrate the land they fight on, providing a 5+ Ward to allies until the ground is corrupted again.
Spearhead Spotlight: Castelite Company
- Flexible Forces: For smaller skirmishes, the Castelite Company mixes swift cavalry, booming cannons, and reliable Freeguild Steelhelms under a Freeguild Cavalier-Marshal. These commanders focus on strategy, returning models to units, and bolstering control scores.
Looking Ahead
Next on the horizon are the Kharadron Overlords, the sky-faring, logic-driven duardin, ready to bring their unique blend of mercantilism and firepower to the battlefield. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!
So, gear up, strategize, and lead your Cities of Sigmar to victory in the Mortal Realms! The fight for survival is relentless, but with faith, grit, and a well-coordinated battle plan, you can turn the tide against Chaos and reclaim what’s rightfully yours.
